While I can see that the hip vibe of this hotel would appeal to some people, make sure that your room has air conditioning if visiting in the summer.

I liked the location of the area, it was close to the venue where we were attending a concert. The room felt homey and it was nicely decorated. The hotel offered live music and drinks and a nice patio/sitting area.

The first room they put us in was a standard king bed but it was tucked away in a corner, super super dark and had a gross carpet that smelled like dog pee. I asked to be changed to another room which was also a standard king but with much more light and not a gross carpet.

Was not warned about the $75 deposit and this resulted in two pending payments on my card and then a 3rd appeared at check out. Only one cleared but I was still without that money as my bank held it as pending.
Was fantastic, lovely theme, outdoor games and fire pits, great location, rooms were fantastic.

“Lack of parking for guests ”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Stayed 1 night
- • Submitted from a mobile device
For paying over $300 for one night, I would have expected to have a parking spot upon arrival. We were told parking was first come first serve. That's unacceptable. We had to wait until the front desk attendant was off work to move her car so we could park in her spot. We waited about 30 minutes. We came back to the hotel for the night, and enjoyed a beer with friends at the picnic tables. The staff started closing up and took our plastic cups off the table, not even asking if we were done as I still had some beer in my cup. A little communication goes a long way. The fan in our room made a clicking noise that was pretty obnoxious while trying to sleep.
The location is great, and the room was spacious and decorated nicely. The room was clean.

“If going in summer, make sure your room has air conditioning installed!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group
- • Stayed 2 nights
Even though reviews stated that rooms are being/have been updated with air conditioning, the room I received on Aug 28, 2019 did not have the air conditioning unit installed (and was told that there were no available king rooms with air conditioning during the middle of the week). Please note, the in-room air conditioning unit was installed on the wall, all that's been done is a hole been cut in the exterior wall, leaving a large, unsealed opening to the exterior.
While I can see that the hip vibe of this hotel would appeal to some people, make sure that your room has air conditioning if visiting in the summer.

Over $300 for a hotel room that smelled, and zero airconditioning, garbage pickup around the hotel was poor, the smell of urine in the hallways/stairways was horrible. Room was just satisfactory.
I liked that they had a beer garden, and the shampoo, conditioner, body wash.

First, & most disgusting thing (actually happened for the first time in my 30 years of travelling the world) that the sheets on the bed haven’t been changed. I realized it at 11pm when i was putting my 5yo son to bed. Both of us were tired so i didn’t call the reception, just swapped the side of the sheets to avoid contact with the dirty side. How did i know? They were not crisp, didn’t smell fresh, & what is more - there were black hair on them! Secondly, the food. Apart from the fact that you have to queue in line to order it, the choice is so poor. My son had to live on hot dogs & milk for two days in a row. I was also not happy with the choice. Especially that i don’t eat meat. I mean, for a fancy place like this & a great spot they have for a restaurant, those guys could have offered smth much better. You’re in California, Tahoe, c’mon.. Breakfast was not better than lunch & dinner. Paper plates, poor choice, very poor choice. The worst i have even seen, actually. Thirdly, but nonetheless important. When we were choosing a place to stay, & my son does take part in these things, we saw a picture of an X-box among other photoes of the hotel. It gave us an impression that it was available for play at the hotel. My son got super excited & was counting time until we came to the place. However, when we asked about it at the reception, the guy told us that he was not sure, & that he has to talk to the manager & so on. After an hour, we asked him again, & he took us to the place where there was an ancient Nintendo where the joystick would not work anyway. I know it was not guaranteed but still.. why don’t you spend $300 on a decent console & make kids (& i guess parents, too) happy?! Another thing that unpleasantly surprised me was that when i asked for my bill at reception (i paid in cash), they told me that since I booked via Booking, Booking will send me my receipt.
The location. The concept. Design. Tent in the room. Fire pits.

The only issue I had was checking in. Check-in was at 4 and our room wasn't ready until 4:45. We had arrived a little bit earlier and was told to come back at 4, this wasn't the issue. The issue was when we came back at 4, we were told to come back in 10-15 minutes, we came back and they said they would call us when the room was ready which wasn't until 4:45.
I liked the location of the area, it was close to the venue where we were attending a concert. The room felt homey and it was nicely decorated. The hotel offered live music and drinks and a nice patio/sitting area.
